Episode Date: July 29, 2020

This week the CHO goes Vegan! Plus the boys discuss the COVID related disasters happening with sports teams frantically trying to make some sort of a season happen (plus other stuff that aint sports)To buy tickets to our LIVE STREAM SHOW go to wellredcomedy.com

And we thank them for sponsoring the show. Well, no, I'll just go ahead. I mean, look, I'm money dumb. Y'all know that. I've been money dumb ever, since ever, my whole life. And the modern world makes it even harder to not be money dumb, in my opinion, because you used to, you, like, had to write down everything you spent or you wouldn't know nothing. But now you got apps and stuff on your phone.

It's just like you can just, it makes it easier to lose count of, well, your count, the count every month, how much you're spending. A lot of people don't even know how much they spend on a per month basis. I'm not going to lie, I can be one of those people. Like, let me ask you right now, skewers out, whatnot, sorry, well-read people, people across the skewniverse, I should say. Do you even know how many subscriptions that you actively pay for every month or every year? Do you even know?

Do you know how much you spend on takeout or delivery, getting a paid chauffeur for your chicken low mane? Because that's a thing that we do in this society. Do you know how much you spend on that? It's probably more than you think. But now there's an app designed to help you manage your money better, and it's called Rocket Money. Rocket Money is a personal finance app

that helps find and cancel your unwanted subscriptions, monitors your spending, and helps lower your bills so you can grow your savings. Rocket Money shows all your expenses in one place, including subscriptions you already forgot about. If you see a subscription, you don't want anymore, Rocket Money will help you cancel it. Their dashboard lays out your whole financial picture,

including the due dates for all your bills and the pay days. In a way that's easier for you to digest, you can even automatically create, custom budgets based on your past spending. Rocket Money's 5 million members have saved a total of $500 million in canceled subscription with members saving up to $740 a year when they use all of the apps. Premium features. I used Rocket Money and realized that I had apparently been paying for two different

language learning services that I just wasn't using. So I was probably like, I should know Spanish. I'll learn Spanish. and I've just been paying to learn Spanish without practicing any Spanish for, you know, pertinent two years now or something like that. Also, a fun one, I'd said it before, but I got an app,

lovely little app where you could, you know, put your friend's faces onto funny reaction gifts and stuff like that. So obviously I got it so I could put Corey's face on those two, those two like twins from the Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland movies. You know, those weren't a little like the Q-ball-looking twin fellas. Yeah, so that was money. What was that in response to?

What was that a reply gift for? Just when I did something stupid. Something fat, I think, and stupid. Something both fat and stupid. But anyway, that was money well spent at first, but then I quit using it and was still paying for it and forgotten. If it wasn't for Rocket Money, I never would have even figured it out. So shout out to them.

They help. If you're money dumb like me, Rocket Money can help. So cancel your unwanted subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster with Rocket Money.

Cornbread, but six, they care way too much, but don't give a fuck. next that makes some people upset but they got three big old dicks

that you can suck here we are okay is it made no I was both it's usually Corey no I was just you did that and I just thought I'm just going to stare blankly at the screen

and see what he does yeah well here we go I don't know what's what's going on how no maybe later go ahead I'm very I know what it's about to happen

I'm not god damn man this is a vegan now everybody he's eating the dairy he's eating the dairy boy the most dairy eating motherfucker I've ever met

in my entire life other than toddlers is now a vegan you asked you right before we started what was that vegan stuff you said vegan website I told you it's not a website I mean I'm sure they have a

website it's a vegan brand yeah guardine garden yeah that's what i wanted to know gard like garden but garden but yeah but gay i get it it's for vegan yeah right and uh anyway it's pretty pretty solid katy buys it sometimes and then i ate it and it aren't but anyway why don't you tell everybody what why what's going on well this is this is a raven for a couple reasons number one i was thinking earlier, I was like, you know what? I'm going to, because like I have no ambition nor like hopes or even or thoughts of like, oh, I'm going to be a vegan for even a long while. Like this is just kind of like what I'm doing is just like dairy is something that I needed

to get out of my system because I'm not supposed to have it. Like I'm not, I'm lactose and tolerant. It hurts me. I eat way too much of it. It's fucking way high in calories. So I was like, I need to give up dairy. And then I was sitting there thinking. I was like,

I didn't know, I'll just try. I mean, I'm really not supposed to have too much meat either because of my gout. So, I mean, I'll just try vegan and then I'll just start reintroducing things into my system. And like, because I'm, dude,

eggs are coming back for show. There's no way they're not. But it's very raven that you bring this up because I was thinking two days ago when I decided to start this little journey. I was like, I'm going to go vegan, but I'm going to do something that nobody has ever done before. I'm going to go vegan and not like public.

publicly talk about it. And then as soon as that thought came into my mind, because we'd been talking about, I was like, well, there's literally no way that Trey's not going to bring this up on the podcast, if nothing other than just a shit on me. So I may as well get that out of my system. But I don't know, man.

Like it's not one of, you know, like, I know like my whole thing you say, and it's true, it's very true that I do this. I'm a very, I binge on what the fuck ever, like whether it be alcohol and drugs, or whether it be like, oh man, I really just got into the show. I'm watching every single episode today. When I decide on a thing, it is that fucking thing and I do it to death.

But with this, that decision seems to come out of nowhere. At the drop of a hat out of nowhere. So like you are either parked or you're 100 miles an hour with anything. Like you'll be not even remotely into a given thing. And then in a heartbeat, you decide I'm going to be into that now. Yeah. Next thing, no, you've, like, read every book and are like, you know. Yeah. Yeah. And that's the thing. Like, I will, I will definitely get all out of veganism that it is possible for me to get because of how I am. But like, again, bro, come on. Like, I'm not an idiot. Like, this is the one thing that I've ever decided, like, this is the one trend or the one whatever that I've ever decided to go into that even I had no delusions about. Like, and I, I'm the most delusional motherfucker. I literally think I can do anything, accomplish anything.

With this shit, I was just like, I think that if I make it a full week, I'll be very proud of myself and I think I'll feel better and then we can examine it going forward. But bruh, eggs. I mean, like, to me, it's just like if I could figure out a way to only eat dairy like the animal that I am every once in a while and then all the other times that I normally would want it, I could substitute it with a vegan option and be at least sane, that would be good. Do eggs fuck with gout? No.

No, I don't think so. You just, you just, okay. I'm just, but if I'm going to do it. It made sense, like, the whole, like, me and dairy, it all makes sense to me knowing that you have gout. Yeah, right. And, and honestly, when you first brought it up, I somehow had, like, not forgotten, but I just didn't think about the dairy. I guess not being in a car with you watching you guzzle two milks and a fucking milkshake and then go, my belly wrong, tray, what I do once a week.

I just like, I was like, man, I didn't say anything. Mark did eventually. Our bunch of Martin eventually said something. But my first thought was like, if you're trying to be healthy and feel better, I don't know about eating all this processed vegan mess, but then I remembered your lactose intolerant. I want to know. It's logical to me. Is it working?

I mean, I can't really say anything conclusively because it's only been two days. And I don't know how long it takes, like, other stuff to get out of your system or what. But we talk too much as a group. I felt like this was a week ago. No, no, no. I hear you. I hear you. But I will say this.

Like, I haven't had violent, explosive emergency diarrhea in the past two days. And like, like, dude, when I. Okay. Okay. Worth it or not, though? no worth it i mean yeah diarrhea and i've talked to i think we've talked at length about diarrhea not on this podcast but like a lot and how like i've kind of been in i'm for it a lot

like i'm for diarrhea in a lot of situations like it's usually one push it's all out it sounds funny like i like a lot of stuff about it uh the wiping don't hit but it has it has been nice like to not, I've been able to trust farts for two days just by not being on dairy. Now, no, with the eggs thing, like, no, eggs don't pose. I don't think any problem to me at all. It's just like I decided, like, if you're going to do vegan, at least do it exactly for one week just to say that you did and then start bringing it. But eggs is going to be the literal first thing that comes back is eggs.

Absolutely. It's. I really, ain't that bad. Corey Ryan Foster. It's not. It's like partying. It's like partying. It's great.

till the cleanup. Dude, it's so weird to me. Like, we talk all the time about how, like, folks back in the, like, diarrhea could be on your death certificate. Like, I mean, you had diarrhea one time and, like, you just, you're off the Oregon Trail. But me, it's like, I've never not,

I didn't know some people didn't just always have diarrhea. Like, I just constantly have diarrhea. I'm sure this is a great for, Tom Sawyer has a bit about that exact fact thing. Yeah. About what you just said. He's like, I'd have no idea that everyone didn't. just always have diarrhea.

And I'm sure that I heard that from time and that's, but I do feel that. I genuinely feel that way. Like, like, like, because I've heard people before be like, oh my God,

today's been awful. I've had diarrhea and I was like, that's how you categorize a bad day. Because my whole life has been awful according to you. Um, I've tried, I've never even flirted with the notion of going full on vegan or even full. full vegetarian, full time vegetarian, but I have kind of, at various points, like, tried to

day, I've heard people say, I've heard people make the argument, which it's a valid and true argument for the record, but that like, you don't have to go full vegetarian. You don't have to do that, but if you just eat less meat, you know, to cut some meat out of your diet, it's still, that still helps the environment and also, like, you know, it was generally healthier for you too. I have tried that before. I get hello fresh every week and so I would go through

for like weeks, three, four weeks in advance I'd go through and pick out all my meals and I would pick only the vegetarian ones for like three weeks in advance. I'll be like, okay, I'm cutting meat, but I might have meat on a sandwich at lunch, but this is dinner and so I'm cutting back on the meat and like

I never make it. I always regret it immediately. I get half I get halfway through the first week and I'm like, what the fuck was I thinking? This sucks. It's like when I used to, I bake now, so it's not fair to say that I quit, but I quit smoking cigarettes, but I smoked cigarettes for years. And I'm sure you've done the same thing, Joe.

I can't tell you how many times. I would be like, man, fuck these things. And I'd throw out like nearly a full pack of cigarettes or something. I have for a full pack of cigarettes, just throw them in the trash can be like, I'm done with them. Yeah. And later that night. Oh, yeah.

Or the next day on the lake or whatever. I'd be like, what the fuck, dude? What are you thinking? You're not a man. Pretty much how it goes with. Like, you're not a man. Right. You're not going to dedicate yourself to anything.

What the fuck is your problem? No. Yeah, dude. So many times that happened. The only time, the only time that it stuck before I actually quit, quit was I threw away a pack in New York. And I stuck with it for four months just because the pack that

I threw away was $18. And I was like, well, I better make that shit worth it. I was, it was the hit. I was just going to do it a bit. And then I didn't mean to step on your toes. There was a delay, Corey. I was going to say, I've tried that with rage. Just make it like half a day without screaming at the sky.

Yeah. I wasn't going to ask you something, Tray. Oh, no, I had a theory, like a little theory on it. You, I mean, it's like, I mean, it's because you're a dad and all that. But, like, maybe it's just like, that's your thing. I mean, you drink and you do a vase. but like you've got to have something that's killed everybody in my opinion has to have something that's killing them absolutely yeah um yeah i don't know i mean i like i said those arguments that people make are valid and true

like i like i don't i won't really i'm not gonna argue with a vegan or whatever about the things that they're saying because like right i know nope yeah nobody i don't want to live right also they don't have the energy. But no, I mean, I generally agree with most of it. I just then I just then don't like live by any of it. I'm like a Christian in that way. Yeah, no. It's your religion.

Need is my religion. I haven't had anything but two cans of tuna and we got fish tacos once in the last probably five to seven days. And I do that kind of thing often where I'm like, Andy's not really eating meat. I won't eat any meat. And then if I want meat, I'll have a can of tuna on standby or some frozen shrimp in the freezer.

And I've been doing that. But today I just saw these two steaks I had that I didn't cook at the 4th of July. I just saw them in the freezer. And without even thinking, I just without even thinking, I was like, put them in the fridge. Like didn't, you know what I mean? Like, well, like with a habit or whatever. Until right now, I just realized, oh, I'm going to eat red meat. Even though I had told myself I wasn't going to.

How much you want to bet that Thompson has already paused this podcast and texted our group? He's going to hear this and be like, God damn it, I did. I guarantee you he has paused and is already. And not just pause to be like, Cho, what the fuck you're vegan. My man's has written a fucking declaration on text about this shit. And I just, I can't wait to hear it. Yeah, it don't hit for him that you're vegan. And it don't hit for him that we've talked about it for this.

amount of time. He'll be like the diarrhea part, that kind of hit. But what the fuck was the rest of that bullshit, y'all? Nobody want to talk to here about that? Go back to donkeys and stuff. I've been thinking about donkey basketball pretty much every day. Well, in terms of basketball, the NBA, the great NBA experiment is ongoing. Are we about about Lou Williams?

Of course we are. It's got it all. Strippers, chicken wings, basketball. God damn, let's get into it. I told Andy this story, and she couldn't give a shit less about basketball or me and the things I have to say. And it murdered her. So I think this is a good topic. Well, I just, okay.

I mean, yeah, I was just going to kind of throw it to y'all. Just bring it up and throw it to y'all. But just as a very brief preamble, because I know a lot of our fans are not into sports whatsoever. The NBA, obviously. has been shut down, just like everything else for a long time, and they, they instituted this plan where they all have to go to a bubble, they have to, like, live in a bubble, basically for X amount, for a shorter amount of time, and they're going to cram all of their games and the whole rest of their season into this amount of time and quarantine and lock down

everybody during that time to get through it. A much better plan than the NFL's, which seems to be like, fuck it. We'll just say what happens. Same one they got with concussions. I don't know, a mask. Right. And then that just recently started up, like it officially started. And not that long into it. The Los Angeles Clippers are a major contender right now, and one of their best players, Lou Williams, pretty immediately broke the quarantine, left the bubble, ostensibly to go to a funeral, I think was the story. But then, okay, he went to a funeral, and then immediately after that was outed on Instagram

by a rapper who I do want to circle back to because I think that part of it's funny as well outed on Instagram by a rapper for being at a strip club Magic City like Magic City where he has wings named after him so he is a pretty serious patron of that establishment

Let's give this some context Right We glossed over the NBA's continuing their season in a bubble in Florida. Now, I would not ask anyone listening to feel any sympathy for these millionaires and billionaires. But I want you to think about all the life-changing, life-altering decisions that were made and the amount of money on the line. An entire company has decided to live together 24-7 for months. Now, again, they're going to have changed. chefs and all that shit you know i understand that but still they've decided to do that

billionaires have billions of dollars on the line right this is not this is a huge fucking deal oh yeah and my man is he is the third best player on that team but i would argue he's the second most important and i i don't want to get too much into the sports because i know a lot of people don't care. But this is a big, it's not just a nobody. This team has a really good chance of winning it all. And he is their second most important player, in my opinion, because he comes off the bench.

He's won six man of the year like seven times. He's a fucking perennial all-star. Right. It's unbelievable. Yeah, no, this is crazy. Honestly, right. Everything about it makes it worse for him because of all the shit that you said. They are a contender, but also like he has.

I mean, he has the potential by doing something like this to literally shut the whole thing down. And all of those billions of dollars are gone because of one dude. I'll go into a titty bar. And also, for the record, Lou Williams is 33, okay? Yeah. I feel like that's also a little. That is. No, that is of note.

I have a skewed viewpoint on it because I've been married with kids since I was 25. I'm 34. I know some, not all 33-year-olds are created equal. I get that. still. He's a season bed. He's not a rookie who just got his first big game check. You know what I mean? Like it ain't like that. He's been making money like this for long enough to have his own wins. I was going to say, see, I'll defend him from the Cho point of view. And then Drew, you can defend him correctly. So from a show point of view, I'm going to have to defend this guy. And honest to God, Trey, I think what you just said about him being 33 actually works in my argument's favor.

And I say that because that means that he has hit longer and grown accustomed to hitting at that level for a while. These dudes, I mean, don't you're wrong, they love playing basketball. Dude, you have to love playing basketball to get that good at it, right? But when you play in the NBA at a certain point, you can say, I play to win. I play to win the game. I want to win that. Man, most dudes, if you really ask them, like, here's why I want to play in the NBA. Here's why I work my ass off every day.

It's because I want to ease me chicken wings as I can, have them named after me and see asses clap whenever I want to on the reg with Jack Harlow in fucking Atlanta. And then when you take that away and just say, hey guys, by the way, now you just have to play basketball and you have to hang out with just all of the rest of everybody.

You're going to be like, well, fuck that. I'm going to, maybe my grandma'll die and I can fucking leave. You know what I'm saying? It's stupid, but like I get it. I don't know, man.

It's hard to walk away from that, is all I'm saying. Also, on the note of the wings being tasty, you know, I said, I'm sure they got good chefs or whatever. I've seen some of the pictures of the food. It's not anything that anyone who's, like, eating fucking, you know, rice and beans would turn their nose up at. But I'm sure my man missed it. But here's my best version of the story in actuality. He did go to a funeral. The guy's name was Pop Williams.

I'm not sure, but I think there's some accusations thrown around that he pretended to be related to the guy because they have the same last name, but he's not. Not my cousin, man. That is my favorite thing. That is one of my top four. I shouldn't say my favorite. That's what I was going to say. It's one of my top four things rednecks and black folk have in common is everybody's our cousin. Dude, it's so true, man.

That's such a other thing. And it often is true by marriage. Absolutely. Of course it is. No, I'm very much, at least think it a lot of times. That's a, the Kings of Comedy, Cedric Derrick-Taynor had a bit about that. And that's where he's talking about Tiger, he's like, talking about Tiger Woods. He's like, Tiger, my cousin, I can say something, Tiger my cousin. But like, but anecdotally, I went to, you know, at my school,

we had black kids in our Redneck school and their last night, not all of them, some of them's last name was Williams. And they literally used to talk about Venus and Serena Williams being their cousin. And obviously they were not. But, you know, it's a real. Yeah, they were probably at Pops Funeral with Lou. We had a family at our school and their last name was Armstrong. And they used to try to tell everybody they were related to Neil Armstrong.

And, yeah, I'm sure you and everybody else at the quarry is related to fucking Neil. But like, no. My brother used to tell everybody that we're the Morgans and our county is Morgan. He used to tell everybody that our great-grandfather founded the county. I mean, I'm sure it would, like, he was. just snorting pills off some whore. Yeah, he founded the county and everybody was like, whatever, poop. I wondered that about you when I first, like, met you and New York County.

I wondered that very thing because it seems like a real, real small town type thing that could happen. No, I thought the same thing, too, and I was like, I'm dead trash. I was like, how shitty is your town if your royalty? Yeah, now we're trash. We named that. No, my understanding is it was named after a dude who, like, hadn't even been there. Like it was time to name counties and it was like, and you get five. Yeah, I mean, James Oglethorpe didn't have shit to do with Fort Oglethorpe.

Clay County's named after Henry Clay. He didn't, he don't have shit to do with Salama, really. So I think his name was Daniel Morgan. Anyway, he goes to this fucking funeral that it is a friend of the family. Now, he says that he went there to get his wings. That was named after him. And there were no dancers present. He wasn't wild and out.

Don't hit. You know, he just, he had to eat. Like, you're out of the bubble and you've got to go eat, which is a reasonable thing to say. And the hardest part with this is you can send someone else to get that food for you. Right. There's no dancers present or you're not interested in it. You can, and Corey, I'm going to look right in your eyeballs.

When I say this, you can tell someone no if they want to take a picture with you. Yeah, that's true. There's, now I get it was a rapper. I don't know if it's time to get into the rapper. I'm on the fence about that one because there's a part of me. It's like, yeah, but taking a hidden picture at the strip club with a rapper. Like, you want to do that. That's fun.

Who would say no to that? And then there's a part of me, Jack Harlow hits. It does. But I could also make the argument visually is the least appealing thing about him as a rap. Yeah, yeah, for sure. So, well, yeah, that's what I didn't know. When I heard the story, I heard it was like he got outed by an Instagram picture with a rapper at the strip club. And that's all I saw.

And I didn't realize until like a day or two later that the rapper was Jack Harlow. And that made the story funnier to me because if anybody doesn't know, Jack Harlow, he does it. He hits me. He's very talented. But he also is a like little nerdy, dorky-looking white kid rapper from Kentucky. Yeah. And like I just, I think it's funny because. Right.

Yeah. If you lined up. I just think if you like. up 15 rappers of his generation. And you said, which one of these rappers is going to be the one taking snitch picks at the titty bar? And putting them on Instagram, everybody would say that one would.

Yeah. And point out of Jack. Fucking nark. But again, he does hit for me. Like, it's just fun. I read about him yesterday just because I went down a rabbit hole and I didn't know he was from Kentucky. And I'm old and don't care much about young rappers.

Usually he's like sort of a prodigy. he's super smart. I can't believe, this is my hardest thing to defend Lou on. It would be hard for me to believe that Lou told him not to post it and he did it anyway.

I'm sure that didn't happen. Why didn't he tell him not to post it? Because, dude, he wasn't given a fuck. I was about saying, taking the picture was dumb enough. Like, he wasn't thinking. He's clearly retconning all of this.

Oh, yeah. That would make you careful. That story, no, I'm saying, he's like, only retroactively, like, trying to damage control it. In the moment, I don't think he gave a fuck. Or I don't think he'd have been there. And, like, the whole, I was just going for the wings,

which, by the way, if you Google it right now, one of the top headlines from the New York Post, the headline is, John Mansell vouches for strip club wings that landed Lou Williams in corn. Such a hilariously shitty headline. Like, they did that on purpose. Yeah, of course. Yeah, of course.

did, right. Well, my thing, my thing going back to what you were saying about, you would think he would have told him not to post the picture or whatever. Dude, if this motherfucker, he's a famous basketball player going to an Atlanta strip club. If he doesn't think that that alone is, you know, I don't think anonymity, it was on his mind is basically what I'm saying. Like, I feel like he clearly, I don't know if he just somehow, I don't know how you could think this in his position, but I don't know if he just somehow thought that it wouldn't be a big deal. Like, I'm already out of the bubble, so whatever.

I know there's rules, I know there's rules, but like, nobody's going to really care if he somehow believed that or what, but like, it definitely seems like he didn't give too much of a fuck about me. Well, he had to believe some version of that. Right. Well, on that note, you know,

as his attorney, you're going to let him go to a funeral, but he can't go get some wings. Right. I understand the look of it. It's a strip club. And I'm not trying to say that they shouldn't be allowed to go to funerals, but like,

funerals is full of people squalling, hugging, snotting. Like, at some point if you let people out, the protocol is just when they get back here, keep them quarantined and test them for three days. If that is what the plan was and it's a good plan, then it don't fucking matter what you do while you're out.

I agree with that. I mean, And to me, I feel like, yeah, I feel like that's almost how it would have to work. You can have exceptions. You can have exceptions like you can go to funerals or whatever. But no matter what you're doing, no matter how justified it is, irregardless, when you come back, you got to go through the quarantine procedure and all that before you can rejoin us. And like you just said, I agree completely with that. If that's how you're going to treat it no matter what, then like, who gives the fuck what else they do? outside of just general, like, personal responsibility optics type shit, you know what I mean?

With the team. That apply to basically any public figure. Like, ah, you really shouldn't be doing that, like, just because. But as far as, like, a grander problem because of the state of the league and all that type of shit, I mean, yeah, I kind of feel like why does it matter more? Well, to the team, it matters because he's good. And it's like, yeah, we are. going to quarantine you when you get back and make sure you don't have it. But if it turns out

that you do, then we have to send you home. And then I guess I could entertain an argument on behalf of the NBA of going, well, yeah, we let you out, but we want you to minimize your risks, not just because it's a bubble, but because you're one of our stars. Right. Yeah. So all the things we were just saying in his defense applied to he's probably not going to ruin this whole bubble for everybody because they're going to catch it if he gets it. But it is going to fuck with his and the team's money. And in some ways maybe, I mean, people are still going to watch the damn games.

You know, let me tell you something. If it was LeBron James or Kawhi Leonard or Kevin Durant though, I mean, like it wouldn't just be, oh, well, we're going to quarantine them when they get back so we won't ruin it for everybody. It'll also be, yeah, but if they can't play, right. Less

eyes are watching these games. Oh, 100%. Dude, yeah, For sure. Um, The Popeye's family feast. Why is everybody suddenly family with Papa's history table? Feed all those cousins with six pieces of our Bowley Seasoned signature chicken.

Well, I'm going to say it now.

I just didn't know if it was a good opener or not. But it fits in pretty well right here as well as anywhere. Last week, I gave a little shout out to Jimmy Wilder, a guy who started comedy with me in Knoxville, but then, you know, quit kind of early on. Make out a Diet Coke, Rusty God. I've been thinking about it all fucking week, man. And almost immediately after we got done,

I thought, man, I can't believe I didn't tell this one other Jimmy Wilder joke. I wasn't thinking about it when we were recording, and thought about immediately after and had been thinking about it all week. And I am going to share it real quick. And this will be the last Jimmy Wilder jokes. This is the only other one I remember. I'm not going to lie.

But I always remember this one. And this is one of his go-to bits. Right. And it's like he would go. He's like, well, they say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. But for me, it's a bit further south. And every time invariably there'd be some like groans or something like, Okay, from the crowd.

And when that would happen, he would go, oh, no, no, no, no, nothing like that. No, that ain't what I mean. No, I mean my feet. I just love it when a woman rubs my feet with her fucking pussy. That is, that is, that is, that is misdirection at its finest. He almost said pussy three times before he said, That's great. It's a good payoff.

I have a question for y'all. I pose this on Twitter. I don't know. This might get us somewhere. What is a band that you're into where it's not embarrassing because they're bad, but it's like it's so on the nose. I said on when I posed the question, mine's the national.

If anyone knows more than four things about me, and then they then learn that I'm into the national, they're like, yeah, I knew that already. Right. Well, for me being a show, and I know we talked about this on several, several, several, several podcasts ago. I think we were in Canada. I'm a huge Jimmy Buffett fan, but since we've already discussed that,

I think one that most people will be like, yeah, that's ridiculous and checks out, is like I listen to Bar Naked Ladies a lot, like a shit. Like they're one of my favorite bands of all time. I hated that the original lineup's not there. Like, it's the only part of the Big Bang theory that I like is the theme song. Like, I really, I fucking. for the sweet name, stayed for the sweet tunes. Exactly.

Like, I love Bear Naked Ladies, and, you know, they're a silly fucking fun band, so that's probably mine. Well, I mean, I appreciate you wanting to tell a new one, but yours is definitely being a fucking pair of head. Of course, yeah, it's Jimmy, but, yeah, for sure. I remember I learned that and was shocked for half a second. I was like, oh, oh, no, that's drinking and listening to Good Island. That's fucking, he is a boat.

Look at him. Yeah, yeah. And also, Jimmy Buff is one of the greatest songwarners of all time. So, you know, I'll definitely. So I can think of, I can think of two possible answers. There's probably maybe a better one than either one of these. First of all, I just want to say, I also fucking love the national. The nationals are one of my top five.

I know what Trace is. I know what Trace is from my, from my perspective. But the National maybe checks out a little less. I mean, I know. Yeah, I know. I agree. You are, but. Right.

But, yes, but not. I know what you mean, and I'm not disputing that. I do think it's more raving at face value for you to like the National that it is for me. but I do love them. The two that came to my mind are explosions in the sky. That was it. Boom. And movie scores.

That's exactly why. I was like, this is why because, dude, I can't tell you how many times me and you have been drunk and you've like, I mean, you've tried so hard to be like, see, here's your understanding. I don't need the words to connect to something emotionally.

If something's good, man. If something's good, I can get there. I can get there. That's one of those things if you'd recorded that and put it out. Our fans would have liked it, but no one would have been like, this surprises me. They all been like, yeah, that's true.

Right, yes, right. It's raving me because they're both, like, pretentious and exposure to the sky. They do hit. They do hit. Exposions to the sky has the added layer of being like they're from Texas. They're, like, associated with, like,

Friday night lights and football shit. Like, they've got a, a bit of a southern aspect to them if you know anything about them. Yeah, I don't think anybody thinks that about you at all. All right, so, but Joe, here's what, you want me to actually just, yeah, I want you to get a little rhapsodic about, about this genre for a minute. It's your broken elevator pitch. What it really is, it is a version of what you said, but really it's that,

I've always loved words and consider myself a word smith and I'm very verbose and I talk a lot and I love words and I like writing and I like talking about language and how words work. And normally that goes for music too. Most of my favorite musicians are like songwriters, really good rappers who are good lyricists. Like normally I'm a lyrics person. But with certain instrumental songs and with explosions in the sky in particular and they were my entree into this discovery. I found out,

I found like some instrumental music that could make me filled with no words at all, which I would have previously not thought possible for me, because I'm such a words guy. And so, and don't really have any depth. Yeah.

Right. Having that experience just made me really, really appreciate those models. fuckers. Sure. Yeah, if there was anybody that didn't get it, they would after that fucking paragraph. I'm saying. Well, do you guys, I mean, I'm sure you do.

I know you do. I also get this anytime I'm not in the South with any, like people in the North find out of them on Waylon Jennings or a Johnny Cash fan. They're like, oh, of course you are. Right. Right. That's just like their own reason. The national is with the national when people go, oh, of course you are.

It's like, what do you mean by that? It's like, I know what they mean by that. Yeah. No, I know. I mean, I feel like we all share a lot of the other ones that are raving to most people, you know. Right. What you just say. Yeah, because they fucking hit.

Drive-by truckers, Jason Neswell, Sturgel Simpson, Tyler Childers. You're literally just naming uneniable fucking hitters. I know. The Nation is undeniable. All these bands are uneniable. It doesn't have to be a bad band. It's just more of like it's so on the nose for me to be crying at this concert right now. Oh, dude.

Speaking of crying, man. Adam and Eve. No. No, the other night, I did a thing that I don't know if we've talked about on the podcast before. And maybe I'm the only one in here that does it on purpose. But like, do y'all ever, do you all ever, like, you're alone, like, you know, you're alone.

Nobody else is at the house. Yes. Yes is my answer. And you're just like, I need to weep. I need to fucking just go through the motions. I need to be raw. And I went out and I threw on some fucking, like, Guy Clark and shit and just cried in my driveway for like, well, like the, like the initial I need to cry,

I probably lasted like 10 minutes. But then I just like opened the floodgates. And then I just ended up being sad for five hours. And I think texting you all through a lot of it. Yeah, this, I'm tempted to take this in like very unexpected direction. That first thing I thought of was that you remember when me and you drunkenly went, went back and revisited Dane Cook's. Yeah.

Dan Cook's standard specials. I tried my best. He has a 10 to 12 minute bid on one of his biggest specials. I think it was vicious cycle made. One of the biggest ones. And he has a 10 to 12 minute bit on there about exactly what you just were talking about, about how sometimes you just need to cry and crying deeply and you just start fucking sobbing. I try my best.

And me and you were watching that all high and drunken shit. And we were just like, man, people need to shut the fuck up about Dan Cook. This is a real shit right here. It is, man. This is some fucking heavy, deep, dark shit he's doing right here, man. And people leave Dane alone. Dude, that whole, like, if we're going to do this. Would it be so funny if he, like, stole it from a comedian who committed suicide?

There it is. But, yeah, if we're going to do this, let's do it. But, yeah, like, when we watched that special, I felt that way about, like, so many of his goddamn jokes that, like, when I was in high school and I listened to him, it's like, and that's actually, that was his brilliance was that. if you were in high school and you'd never experienced what he was talking about, he was still very high energy moving around the stage, had a bunch of crazy little words and head movements, and he was very animated to where like it didn't matter. Like this is just, and I'm not saying, first off,

I'm not saying that I'm not comparing him to Robin Williams, but that quality of like you could put this on mute and I'd still be like, he's doing something funny right here. Like something funny's happening. He had that. And then when you get older and you watch it, you're like, oh, shit. he was not just a funny animated dude this motherfucker is real like i i get this like there was that one there was the one where him and his fucking girlfriend have to about about no funny he's talking like

you're just like your dad and he's like you don't know you're not half the man my dad was god damn it it starts with him he says my father's a brilliant man she dropped some little thing at the end of an argument like you stupid like your father and then leaves yeah like tries to let it go but it just festers in his mind for like an hour. And then he storms in the kitchen and she's just sitting there eating dinner. And you just walk in like, or you're just going to eat noodles? You're just sitting there eating fucking noodles.

Just the fucking noodles. And then it leads to, yeah, because I'm a smart guy. Who paid for the fucking noodles? I did. Because I'm smart. Like my fucking dad or whatever. Dude, I'm watching that after this.

That's a great story. No, just so everybody knows, the reason me and you turned that on is because we were already drunkenly defending dang. Absolutely. To no one. To the ether.

We're both just sitting in our hotel room agreeing fully. Loudly. Got loudly that Dane Cook got a bad rap, which I always did think Dane Cook got a bad rap. And I still think that. I've always been a Dane Cook apology. Well, it's kind of interesting because it's like, especially if you look back at it through the lens of what all we know now, like, realistically, what took Dane down a shit ton of pegs was that he'd been accused of stealing a joke from Louis C.K.

Like he'd been accused. And the thing is, if you go back in. look at those two jokes in question. It's like, yeah, they were both about a thing that I could totally see two people independently coming to. Louis then clearly agree. It was two jokes. Whatever.

But either way, both of them were that type of thing. Louis then later has him on his show, you know, to do that scene where it was like the apology and he lets Dane be mad at him or whatever. But it didn't really matter. The damage was fucking done. And like now we see what has happened with Louis C.K. and like all that shit. And it just makes me even more be like, man, fucking Dane.

Well, I do. You know his brother took all his money too. Yeah, he went through a lot of real shit. His brother fucked him over and stole his money. His parents died. Like he, like, you know, he went through some rough shit just as a human being.

But also I, but I have to say, though, we were talking on a podcast recently about the early to mid-aughts when we came of age and how it was a very broy time in America and all that. I always did love Dane Cook. I always have been a Dane Cook

Apologist, but I do think that regardless of all the rest of that shit, Dane Cook was very much of a moment. I agree. He was of a time. He had leather armbands. I don't think that Dane Cook would have persisted all that other stuff aside personally because he just

fit the time frame he was in perfectly. I'm not going to deny that. I'm not going to deny that. But, and I guess honest to God, you can make one argument of like, yeah, okay, just because a comedian accused, like, Dane Cook's fans didn't give a fuck that Louis C.K. You know what I'm saying? Like that,

largely no, yeah. But I still don't, regardless of all of what you just said, I don't think he deserved the stigma, I guess. I agree with that. Like professionally, like from his peers and stuff. I think half of the stigma professionally, though, was the broliness coming from fans. Well, I can go.

Maybe we as an industry allowed it, you know, because it's like, well, he's a thief, so I'm not even going to defend him. Yeah, right, right. That's what I'm saying. But I'll say this. If there's any comedians out there listening right now, like up-and-coming comedians, which why would there be? But if there are and you're sitting here listening to this, like,

he's fucking idiots sitting here really they're going to defend Dane Cook. You couldn't see Dane Cook in your fucking dreams. You couldn't wash his goddamn dishes. You couldn't hold his goddamn jock when he was on his shit. You could not clasp his leather bracelets. No. That was always one of the main things that made me so fired up about is when I was coming up as a comic. All these shitty comics.

That was the era. when he was having his precipitous downfall and everybody loved shitting on him was right around the time I started and all the other like open micers I knew were just piling on. Not that it matter. We were in Knoxville. No one knew or gave a fuck what they were saying. But still, they were all just, I know. And they were all just like piling on him and shit. And the whole time I was just saying what you were saying. I was like, you y'all couldn't watch Dan Cook's fucking dishes. Like, I'm not trying to hear this shit. Me too. He was my favorite comedian when I was 20. Absolutely. Yeah. Wait, you didn't answer the question though, Trey. Do you ever crying a cry? no well he he opened that but saying like you know how you're alone in your house sometimes no i don't know that i haven't been alone in my house and i do not know how long because of the quarantine you every now then katy would meet up a friend of hers also as kids at Disneyland or something and i would have a date of myself or whatever but like that's against the law now so i'm never at home alone driving and crying.

I'm obviously not going to cry, you know, like that in front of them. I used to have, yeah, I used to do shit like that. Every single time alcohol was involved, every single time I would like, you know, hear a song that reminded me my dad or something. And then it was on. We've told the story before about that night in Oxford, Mississippi, where we all got super drunk and everybody, you know, Drew puked in a bush. You went to get a butterfinger at four in the morning.

And I cried myself to sleep with a lot. for some shit. Yeah, we did a lot more than that. I cry myself to sleep listening to Conway Twitty. That's what that was. Well, okay. That's my job. Oh, dude.

That does it to me. That does it to me and I, that does it to me and my eyes out. That does it to me and my dad's alive and I'm not a father myself. So I can't imagine. Oh, I can't handle that. Do you guys remember when we all kind of started crying in the middle of a Jamie John in a song? In color.

In color, yeah. Yes. That's just a goddamn timeless classic. It is. But hold up. And I think you said this on the podcast before, Tray. so I don't think I'm out and you, I feel like at one point you were like,

yeah, but I ain't crying in a long time, and I don't really cry anymore. No, I don't think I would have said that because honestly, it's really the opposite. We were just on the text there the other day.

You might have been in the woods or space. He was probably fucking Mark. But we, uh, no, Mark was, we, anyway,

ever since I, ever since I had kids, I cried to drop of a hat. Yeah. Like, I used, before I had kids, I never,

ever cried. I was from that family of, man, you know, you bottle it up and then you die. And then I would get, but then I'd get drunk and let it out once every six months or whatever before I had kids. But ever since I had kids, dude, I'll fucking cry over a Hallmark card. I told me what you're saying that. I cried over.

I cried over the other day, this is what I put in the text. It was true. The other day, I teared up over a fucking chef's dedication to her craft on a cooking competition. Well, we know what that was. Yeah. And I told Corey. the text threat, I was like, you know what's even sadder is, it genuinely did not occur to me until just now how fat of a moment that also was. Like that wasn't just like a sad, like an emotional,

sensitive moment. It was also such a fat moment because I had a sitting there like tearing up, she's talking about, you know, how she had to fight through the ranks to get her Michelin Star or whatever. I'm just sitting there like. I had a very, I had a pretty raven cry. That's, that's an extremely raven cry. My raven cry the other day. And this is one, this is one of the hardest I've ever cried. This is like when raven's cry. Yeah. This is, this is, this is, this may be the hardest I've ever cried at a thing that, that didn't directly relate to me. You know, it wasn't like a death or like I was actually crying over something personal. It was just a thing like you're saying that I saw that moved me. I was listening to, uh, Arne, which is one of my favorite wrestling podcast. And it was a bonus episode. And they, and Arne had done like this zoom party where everybody could hang out and they could ask him questions and stuff. And this one lady gets up and she's, she's kind of talking like this. Like, this is exactly how she talked.

And her first thing in her mouth was, you know, like, Arn, I'm not going to do that the whole time. She was like, Arn, I just want to first off say, I'm battling COVID right now. So excuse the way I sound. I'm getting over it, but I kind of, you know, my throat's hurting and blah, blah, blah, blah. And then she said, I just wanted to let you know.

And she kind of started tearing up. She said, I just want to let you know that you were by far my favorite wrestler as when I was young because I'm blind. and I was born blind, but whenever you talked, I could see because you painted such vivid pictures that no one else during their promos, I felt that way.

But every time you talked, I, for the first time, felt like I could see what was going on. And son, I fucking, this little, oh my God, dude,

like I fell apart on my fucking couch. I started texting Conrad. I was like, bro, that fucking arm thing, he's like, yeah, yeah,

we had to pause. We had to pause that shit. I mean, yeah, Yeah, no. Lime, I've got COVID. Gifts. Anything to do with, like, fatherhood for the most part that's at all positive or heartwarming in any measure.

Yeah. Just kills. There's a gift that's been around the internet for a while from another cooking show that I don't watch. It's like a Brazilian cooking show. But there's a little petite female chef, and it's a time cooking show. She's frantic and freaking out stuff. And she grabs a jar of some ingredient and she can't open it. and like without thinking she runs into the audience and gives the jar to her dad who's in the audience and he opens it and gives it back to her and uh and the top comment on it was something like that man was getting that jar open if he had to rip his goddamn arm off at the socket or something like that and all that combined just i couldn't handle it

was that on reddit sat on the toilet crying is that on reddit i'm so surprised that the top comment was that wholesome about that like i can't believe it was Of course that bitch couldn't get that goddamn jar open. I'm sure there was some of that on there too. Reddit is like the worst place on Earth. Yeah. And the best. It's the most internet. The internet is.

Yes, absolutely. It is peak internet. Well, I'm sure a lot of people would say that's like 4chan or those fucking places. No, because that has nothing good. 4chan has almost nothing good.

It's too much shitty internet. Reddit has the best. It's a good balance. It's a good balance. Internet and equal measure. Yeah, I agree. Yeah. I wanted...

Probably like with the National, I don't even need to say it, but I stay crying. Guaranteed. The most... Picking one song, the most like Raven-sounding specific song I can give you, that I love, is the score from the Darren Aronofsky film, The Phantom. Listen to you. Entitled together. Answered a question we didn't ask just so he could talk about Darin.

Aaron Aronovsky. Entitled. together we will live forever by Clint Mansell and it is every single word in that I know like the ingredients list on fucking nut butter I know buddy I had the that's why I thought about it after about that specific one and I was like that's too good to not because we're talking about ravenry here well you know it's raven shit you're into and I was like I got a I got to throw that one out there because it's like the pinnacle speaking of songs I want to say Corey you love guy Clark love There's a song that I just thought was Gly Clark.

Andy learned it, and she'd been playing it. Do you know the song Blues run the game? Simon and Garfunkel did it, but they didn't write it. The Jackson C. Frank version is, in my opinion, better, and he's who wrote it. You got to look it up, man. I think it's better than Dublin Blues. Well, I mean, obviously, I haven't heard. I haven't heard it.

Oh, what I'm saying there. But, right. Well, Simon and Garfunkel did not cover many songs. No, of course not. So, well, I guess I'll start off my next sad with that. Um, good. I know, maybe for the, we'll wrap it up with this. I wanted to get into this as the NBA earlier, but we got sidetracked by a dick and butt talk and stuff, which is.

But do y'all think, I was going to phrase this as, do you think this will like make the South care? I think we've briefly brought this up before. Nope. But I don't think that, right, I kind of feel like that. Is it done so, no. What effect, what effect, if any, do you think, it will have on people back home where COVID is concerned if and when all football goes the way completely this fall.

You'll make them angrier. Right. They'll be even further down the conspiracy rabbit. But you're probably right, but like how specifically, what's that going to look like? They're going to say that they've cowtow. They already do, dude, they kick Colin Kaepernick out of the league and people where I'm from still won't watch the NFL because they let him kneel some. before they kicked them out.

They also are going to try to say that it was, you know, the NFL, the NFL and in the NCAA finally buckled to liberal pressure or whatever. And the only reason that they did this is because they wanted, this was a way to get Trump's base away from him because they know how much they love football. And if they can somehow try to pin all of this on Trump and it all finally comes to a head with, well, God damn it, if we can't watch college football, then that's the last fucking straw. They're absolutely going to try to spin it like that.

And you're saying finally buckled. I'm saying they already think the NFL is buckled. They already think that because Colin Kaplan. They think everybody has. Yeah, exactly. The second that you said, literally the second that you say something is, if you just go, hey, I think black people are all right, they'll be like, they got to them, they got to them.

Look at it. They got to them. Like it's the craziest fucking, but it works. They're, that little game that they play where no matter what happens, happens. If it's good, we did it and if it's bad, well, they made us do it. There's a dude running in Tennessee for state senator. And his literal whole campaign, at least from the videos I've seen, it's kind of like gone viral, you know, for a bad reason. Right.

His whole campaign is, are you tired of people crumbling because when they get accused of being racist? Are you tired of these spineless other Republicans who won't double down on their racist? Are you mad at people for apologizing for wrongdoings? Yeah. Yeah, no, I'm sure, I'm sure y'all are right. I'm certain. I don't know what I even think the possible alternative to that answer would be. I just thought I'd bring it up because, like, look,

because I'm a mega fan where football is concerned. I like watching all sports, but football, I'm, like, pretty stereotypically, small town redneck in that way, because it's like a huge portion of my life. in the fall revolves around foot to a degree to which i'm embarrassed by now as an adult man with uh wife and kids and a career and stuff dude we have said it myself for how much i allow the outcome of fucking football games to affect my like mental health and shoot but i think there's been so many times on tour we're all three of us because we tour during the fall that's a huge that's that's that's a big time for us touring there have been so many times

that because of that it's affected us being able to watch games and stuff. And like we've had sincere, I mean, where like right afterwards we're like, wouldn't be that'd be stupid, but like sincere talks were like, man, I just wish we didn't have a goddamn career. You know, I wish we didn't hit. At least we'd be at home watching football right now. But I say that just to say, like, I get it. I feel the pain of this, but just being like trying to be objective.

I mean, how in God's name is it not going to. to get canceled one way or another ultimately both at both level like the two big college and professionally how can they possibly get through it i just don't see it they had no plan it seems like the NCAA is not going to i guess i can imagine at the pro level dude don't have any live don't have any fans there but to keep your television dude it's not like they've ever shown us that they give a single fuck about their players and sincerely, and it's been written about a lot, the CBA and the players contract in the NBA, way more powerful, way bigger deal than the players union in the NFL.

I could just see him being like, we're doing it. Sorry, guys. I mean, that's what they seem to be saying right now, and that don't surprise me either at all. I mean, DJ's having to work at the Dollar General. Well, I know. I feel like it's less about the players personally. and like when one of the coaches the coaches are huge even the like if it just if it's a player even like if Patrick Mahomes gets it and like hell they would if he's asymptomatic they probably try to sweep down the rug and play him

anyway but if he gets it and it comes out and he's like he's knocked out that obviously will be a colossal deal I think multiple player players could get it and they will they'll have to get it and they'll just like keep going but there's so much many like coaches are really you know they're like super high profile and a very big deal in football too and so many of them are old and a lot of them are fat and like they're old and dumb and dumb and dumb it no they do how but like they're not dumb how the fuck is that going to work like if they at least they if they sequestered the coaches completely somehow and they only quarantined i don't know i agree with you they don't give a fuck about their players but the coaches though i just don't

Why would they give a fuck about the coaches? And also, you got to understand the players, pardon me for saying toxic masculinity, but I'll remind you of your goddamn Darren Aronovsky fucking O'Fa earlier. That culture is very, I mean, dude, they're having talks right now. I'll fucking play right now. I'll play on a goddamn metal field. And that's their mentality.

And a lot of those coaches have that same. Bill Belichick is not dumb, but I don't think, even if he is afraid of this, I don't think he would allow himself to admit it. I agree with that, but the reason I still think it's different is because I think, and not universally, but by and large, probably any NFL player who does get it, even if they're not asymptomatic, they probably will be okay, pretty much okay. But Bob Wiley's fat ass is going to die.

Right. But a coach, though, it ain't like that. Even if they do have the mentality of like, no, I'm fine, suck it up. I'll be all right. That don't mean they won't fucking die or get put on. And you're saying. And if that happens, how do they not shut it down? They'll show.

Okay, that's a different question. If a coach, if somebody dies, they'll shut it down. Honestly, if a major profile athlete or coach gets hospitalized, they'll shut it down. But I still think they're going to try. They're definitely going to try. It's clear they're going to try. I'm just saying I don't make half their revenue for half the season. And that's where I get back to like, I know they care, but they don't really care.

No way. I don't see them getting halfway into the season. No, because no one will catch it immediately. Look what's already happening. They won't have already called it. Hold on. They won't shut down until somebody's in trouble in a way that they can't sweep under the rug. Well, look what has just happened with, I mean, you know,

Lou Williams, they don't, you know, they haven't, like, he doesn't have it or nothing. But like, just how easily it was to break the bubble and all this bullshit in NBA, almost immediately. And then in baseball, the fucking Marlins, they just found out like four or five people on their team just tested positive for it. And so they've got them out and they're quarantined them. But the Marlins are fucking, they just played the Braves. They, like, literally just played the Braves right when they found all that was happening.

And then the Braves are playing the race tonight. So, like, if any of those dudes got it, like, it's, like, we literally just started the two things, the two sports. It's like, right, we're going to give this to go. And it's just been immediate ravenry like you figured it was going to be. Right. And the NFL's not going to be any goddamn different at all. It's probably going to be worse. And they're going to be way more.

And they're also way more contact. Like, way more of a contact sport. Like, I'm not saying NBA and MLB those people don't ever touch. But, like, I could see an outfielder hypothetically being asymptomatic and having it, not giving it to anybody possibly. But, like, in NFL, dude, your sweat becomes the other man's sweat very quickly during a game. It's almost as this. Existence is a nightmare when we have no leadership.

Yeah, don't hit. Nope. All right. Well, that it? That's it. See y'all next time. You. All right.
